12.00 Artisanal Mining Focus Bringing artisanal mining into the open – the socio-economic and environmental debate In the Central African Republic, artisanal miners contribute approx. $115 million to the economy each year, and in Uganda small-scale miners generate 20x more to GDP than those employed in farming, fishing & forestry. However, it still remains an unregulated and risky part of Africa’s mining sector with recent fatalities highlighted in the global media and a major cause for concern with large mining operators:

o How can established industry work collaboratively with artisanal miners to find a safe, productive and economically viable solution?

o Which countries and companies are making progress in reducing fatalities and risk in artisanal mining?

Speakers: Feriel Zerouki, SVP International Relations & Ethical Initiatives, De Beers Group Pamela Fierst-Walsh, Senior Advisor for Conflict Minerals & U.S. Lead for the Kimberley Process, U.S. Department of State


14.00 Panel: Climate Change & Sustainability focus Climate change and its impacts represent a physical risk to mining operations and installations, and a broader societal risk to the communities and workforce on which mining projects rely.

Adaptation within the mining sector is needed to address the impacts of climate change that are happening now, to increase resilience to future impacts, and to enable sustainable socio-economic development. What is the current status of - and how are mining companies responding to – growing risks including:

o Extreme weather patterns causing flood and storm damage to infrastructure o Transport disruption affecting supply chain reliability o GHGs from Scope 2 & 3 emissions and reduction strategies o Increased competition for climate-sensitive resources such as water and energy

Collaboration as a driver of successful digitisation and innovation There’s a barrage of new technologies and systems in the mining industry all with the promise of unpresented value-add and functionality. Why then do so many operations struggle to extract even 50% of the value from most of these systems? AVA and Exxaro will unpack the successful turn-around strategy of their overburden fleet from the sudden loss of the mines major contractor to the on-boarding of a new contractor, while also developing an emerging contractor. They managed to do this while maintaining a safe operation and exceeding targets. This is the flexibility and focus of a collaborative team with accurate and transparent metrics matched by a digital platform.
